    1. Bought many of them meals when they were up on 70 working in the high county! We love our fire teams!

  1. I feel for these people, I live in Truckee ca and we had the smoke and fires where you could see the smoke flowing down the street. May a huge snow/rain storm descend on this area.

    1. Hello to you , I used to live in grass valley and georgetown Eldorado county for years, now I live in Kingman Arizona area, I do miss the mountains of northern California but at the same time happy I moved my family here,

  2. Too bad they dont take care of their forests. Ive owned my ranch for over 15 years never has happened. I do burns every year so this doesnt happen

    1. 75% of Colorado forested land is owned by the US government: USFS, BLM, NPS. ALL of these fires in Colorado this year started on federal land. Take it up with them! And I’ll wager your “ranch” isn’t at an altitude of 7,000 to 11,000 feet elevation of extremely rugged and inaccessible terrain. Offer us your empathy, or STFU!

  3. I absolutely love Colorado and I hope nothing but the best for the residents and friends I have loving there. I also hope the wildlife stays safe, it’s such a gorgeous state

  4. I live in N. Calif. and this is the first morning I woke up without coughing since August after living in smoke for nearly 2 months.

    1. If you cough due to bad air, it is because your lungs are terminally being scarred by fine particles and chemicals from burnt things.

    2. I’m pretty sure you have an allergy or something. The air quality has been not coughing bad in the Bay Area for several weeks now.

  5. I used to live in Colorado up until a month ago, now I’m in florida. It’s like my lungs had holes in them I couldn’t breathe. That was a month ago I can’t imagine what it’s like now.

  6. “You literally cannot see the sun, there it is in red, the sun that is invisible, you cannot see it, right there where I’m showing you. It is literally impossible to breathe, I say as I speak clearly and without difficulty, literally zero air, the world is smoke and flame, I came outside because I set my poptarts on fire, my universe is uninhabitable.”
